To set up NME for the Linux target on my Debian box. Actually Linux MINT Debian Edition, but that shouldn't matter. However, I get the following output:

E: Unable to locate package ia32-libs-multiarch
Called from ? line 1
Called from InstallTool.hx line 579

Uncaught exception - Error running: sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch gcc-multilib g++-multilib []

I also tried to run:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch

But I get

E: Unable to locate package ia32-libs-multiarch

Is this an Ubuntu specific package?

Edit: I got this to work eventually, without installing that package or any other. Unfortunatly I don't remember what it was I did. If someone finds this and has the same problem give this question some attention and I will try again..

Yeah that's the problem. The question is why does haxelib try to install it then, and what should it install instead? I can leave the second half of that question, namely what should be installed instead, on here in case someone knows. Once I know that I can take it to the haxelib developers and ask them the first part of the question.

There is no ia32-libs-multiarch on Debian, however I had a look at the Ubuntu repositories, and ia32-libs-multiarch is just a metapackage (an empty package that depends on others).

There's no description for this package, but I believe it is just a metapackage that tries to pull everything the developers think they might need some day, or will never need and are too lazy to check.

There is no libssl0.9.8 and libpulsedsp on Debian, but I really
doubt you'll ever need them.

Either install them all and remove the part that tries to pull ia32-libs-multiarch from InstallTool.hx, setup/PlatformSetup.hx or helpers/ProcessHelper.hx, or contact the developers and ask them why their package would need such things as Qt libs and Gtk+ themes at the same time...
